Demons Of The Night

Chapter 8.

Truth

After I arrived back into my room I walked over to lay down on my bed. When I stripped my shoes off, I crawled in and as soon as I did, my door slammed shut and my lights were on. Ezio was sitting at the end of my bed. "Oh my god, you scared me to death."

Ezio did not look amused, he looked extremely pissed off. "Where were you?" Ezio was furious. "I had another vision in my sleep. I heard Alisha through your door, and was about to go back to bed, until Eric swept me away into his room." I gulped. "Eric? He's a fucking idiot." He was smiling. "He's very nice to me. Maybe someday I will love him." Ezio turned, giving me a dark look.

"Eric. Will. Never. Love. You." He said between gritted teeth. I just held onto hope. "Whatever you say." I looked away with pain in my heart. "Now, what was your vision of?" He had hurt my feelings, now he just expects me to act like he didn't do anything wrong? "Answer me, now."

I was tired of being treated this way. I would rather die, than sit here living this miserable life any longer! "Why?" I snapped at him. "So you can get pissed off at everything I tell you?"
He looked as if he was going to rip my throat out.

"Sometimes we can't all get what we want. You took me away from my parents, you killed them! Just like your father killed your mother! Your father killed your love. He had you trapped here, as you do me." He had a look of like he was lost in his own personal hell. "Christina died because your father was a tyrant, I guess I too shall have the same fate. Like father, like son!

I yelled at him. I did not care if he got angry and killed me. I was tired of holding my tongue. Instead he looked as if I struck one of his heart strings, hard. Shortly after, I was alone in bed. The Door shut and I could here the lock. "Great job Isabelle." I said to myself.

I sat in my bed for hours, thinking over things. Especially about my parents. I got up and sneaked towards my door and put my ear against it. I could hear nothing, but silence. I went back and sat on my bed, not sure of what was going to happen to me. I tried not to cry, but it was no use. I fell asleep in my tears that night.

Ezio's Point Of View

What the hell happened back there? She knows about Christina's death. She knows about the witch that created me, or as she calls me, a monster. This is impossible! I have had plenty of servants and none of them had spoken to me and got away with it like she has.

I had to get to the bottom of it. I went to Dorindas room and knocked on the door. She came and answered it immediately. "I knew you would be coming to me." She looked powerful. "What happened the other day?" I was pissed. "Calm down. We will soon talk." Before I could speak she waved her hand, I no longer had a mouth. I freaked out.

"Now that I have shut you up. What happened the other day, was the elders of the witches intervened. She is a key to your heart. They said if you turn her away, you will regret it for the rest of your life. They also said, if you embrace her, she will be the savior of your heart. If she dies, you die."

Without another word she waved her hand and I could speak again. "What the hell does that mean? If I embrace her, she will save my heart? She's a filthy human." This is bullshit. The witch was now towering over me. Anger in her eyes. "Do not forget how you became who you are." She pressed her fingers to my temple and showed me images of my childhood. My humanity self.

"You were once a filthy human as well." She pushed my head back and the images stopped. "Stop this, Dorinda!" I pleaded. "Now thy king feels?" I searched her eyes. This was not Dorinda. This was an elder. "What do you want from me? Why keep on with your pathetic riddles?" This spirit angered me.

"Christina was not the love of your life, Ezio Auditoré! The girl you dress in rags and treat as a slave is your soul mate! Push her away and you will regret it for the rest of eternity. If you embrace her she shall be yours to cherish. Your kingdom will grow and love will appear once where The old King once reigned." I couldn't believe my ears. Do they think I am a fool? "Leave this room, Ezio. Do not come back to Dorinda. She does not know anything and you will confuse that poor excuse of a witch." Without another word, they were gone and Dorinda fell back on her bed.

I left and found my way back into my bedroom. I looked across the hall to see Isabelle's room, and sighed. Well, I guess if she's my savior she better have a better attitude. I jumped on my bed and feel asleep.
